And, because we don't want to be creating any of those "simpleton standalones" that will bring disrepute to Revolution or Himalayan Academy, we give anyone a license to do a scathing review of

Pardon the intrusion, but it may be worth noting that an unclickable
checkbox is a violation of Apple's Human Interface Guidelines and of
general UI design rules about user expectations. I'd respectfully
suggest some other way of indicating the user's connected state than a
checkbox he can't click on or change. I guarantee you'll have
frustrated and confused users.
There are also another couple of icons that look like a round indicator light off and on, those might not be bad with the button's text align set to right, then you can also have not too different from the size and shape the checkbox would have been.
However, about Apple--I can no longer consider them to be the ultimate example of good interface, as they were before.
